it's been a busy night, but BLOG space is available to those whom inquirer
26 February, 2007 04:58
Cross-posted from my personal blog (http://myside.myspew.com/):
It has been a busy night for me indeed. My mission was to enable LifeType's BLOG sub-domains.
I thought this was going to be an easy step with GoDaddy's DNS utilities. However, I quickly realized that I was unable to create a wildcard A name record nor an alias. Frustrated, and sure as hell I could do it, I called customer support.
The representative had to call a different level support guru. When he got back to me, he said he would make the changes while I was on the phone. He failed, trying everything I already did. He was back on the phone with the guru's and was then told that I would need a virtual or dedicated server package. Obviously bumbed out at this, I said thank you, but by. This after he told me if I were to purchase these services, tech support would not help with setup, but hinted that it is possible with the user's available tools.
Playing with the A records a bit, I realized that I could assign *.mypew.com and a private IP. Before this I was using just (*) and the shared IP, hoping it would resolve correctly.
Let me mention before I go on.. I tried playing with the .htaccess files trying to change some Apache site variables, but they all failed miserably making my sight inaccessible.
Now all I needed was a dedicated IP. This costs just a couple dollars a month, and worth it if you need some major DNS tweaks. So far it has been fun.
So I created the record: *.myspew.com ip.ip.ip.ip Look it up yourself, if you wish.
I then proceeded to my .htaccess file to insert some nasty redirections and alias information. However, I found none of these changes were needed so I later removed the messy declarations.
I changed a few settings in LifeType, and WALA! The 3rd level domains are now the BLOG owner's user name. All is working great.
Why did I do this? I figured if any friends, or friends of the friends of mine reading this wants a BLOG, it might be available to them. Hint Hint, drop me an e-mail if you want a BLOG on this domain. This goes for anyone on the EINSTEIN@HOME FreeBSD team also.

Interesting and Important WU Data Information...
19 February, 2007 10:40
January 19, 2006
A couple of days ago Einstein@Home issued the last workunits from our first search of LIGO S5 data. The post-processing of these results will begin in a few weeks when the last result from these workunits is returned. Meanwhile we are gearing up to begin a new type of more sensitive search (called a hierarchical search). Unfortunately this is not yet ready. In the meantime we are extending the first S5 search to a larger range of spin-down ages than previously. We apologize for some problems that occured in the last few days as we finished one search and started another. We are still coping with some hardware problems, which complicated the transition. For further details please see this message board thread.

For those of you wondering what the EINSTEIN@HOME Project is:
EINSTEIN@HOME is a program that uses your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO and GEO gravitational wave detectors. EINSTEIN@HOME is a World Year of Physics 2005 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.My name is Andy Wright - the founder, but really the creator of Team FreeBSD. If you want me to add any links, or have any questions or inclinations for such things related to our group (or to just say hi) - send me an e-mail: einstein@extracted.org or Skype name: extracted
